    I set up an Etsy store for fun (or pain) with some of the illustrations I've been doing. Should I order the yacht now or hang on for a bit?

    • I have had no luck at all there. I sell the same thing as other that charge a considerably higher price. I get maybe one view a day. I also sell on Craigslist..lemmy_k

    • @lemmy_k my understanding is that titles and tags play a major role in showing up in search results. And it can take time to take effect.Centigrade

    • @lemmy_k I'm brand new but here's my 2 cents. Niche down on "barrel made". Make that the focus for your store.Centigrade
    • Everything you make for this store should be related to wine barrel reclamation. If you do other types of stuff, set up a separate store.Centigrade
    • Experiment with RAISING your prices. Furniture is an investment - and higher prices = quality.Centigrade
    • Really flesh out your descriptions. Your are selling a lifestyle as much as a chair. "Relax on your patio with your favourite wine in our..."Centigrade
    • Centigrade, thanks for the tip. We are doing pretty good other places, like Craigslist and Facebook. I have been contacted through a craft fair site to bring..lemmy_k
    • my stuff to their show, and they have already invited me to a second just off of my pics. None of them take a percentage. I like my $ for me. Etsy hasn't...lemmy_k
    • shown up to help sand, either, so F them! :)lemmy_k
